Never mind the support - is the original protagonist going to step up and
tell us what all the fuss is about....?

Personally I have a nice broadcast infrastructure revolving around GTA's and
I want to know if there is really an issue..:-)

i believe this list helps separate a lot of the config problems
from security issues.  although not instant it certainly helps people
with little problems that don't require gta's involvement.

what? you can't provide free support for a free product and make money?

Free (installation) support is available for the fist 30 days.  We do 
offer various support plans.  It is true that you need a support 
contract in order to have the support staff work on an issue.  It 
doesn't mean that you can't send email to them.  They've been 
instructed to make sure that customers seeking support have a 
contract before they begin working on a problem.  If an issue such as 
the one alluded to exists I'm sure it would be investigated.

We have discussed creating an email address or web facility for users 
to report suspected bugs, and possible security issues.  I think this 
would go a long way in addressing such issues.  The big problem for 
GTA is sorting the wheat from the chaff.  Quite often what a user 
thinks is a bug or security flaw is not, but rather a 
misconfiguration (maybe not even the firewall but other sw/hw), or 
misunderstanding of networking/firewalling, etc.

It is true we don't offer support for GB-Light users for the obvious 
reason--it's free and we can't run a company providing free support 
for a free product. The web forum and the mailing list are good 
resources for GB-Light users to gain information and ask questions.
